Talk to your vet if you think your cat may have epilepsy. Only your vet can make the diagnosis. Like human seizures, feline seizures are believed to be related to the miscommunication of neurons in the cerebrum of the brain. Your vet will need to run a thorough examination of your cat to diagnose her condition. You will need to provide your vet with a detailed health history of your cat. Your vet will most likely conduct a physical and neurological exam of your cat. Laboratory tests and X-rays are often part of the examination process. If a trigger or underlying cause for the seizure cannot be determined then it will be diagnosed as idiopathic or a genetic disorder. When a cause is determined a treatment plan can be developed. Make sure you call your veterinarian Murrieta, CA throughout the treatment process and note any changes in your cat.
